[ 105 ]“With oodles of power and
a shockingly low weight,
the ELB 1200 is ready for
whatever adventures
you throw at it.”
strobes to pair it with—Action, Pro, and Hi-Sync (each with
4000 lumens, daylight-balanced modeling lights, which can do
double duty as a continuous light source); and all in a highly
portable, lightweight package. The ELB 1200 weighs in between
9.48 and 10.38 lbs., depending on the battery used. Given that
only a few years ago similarly powered analog battery packs
weighed more than two and three times as much, creating a
system with this much power and flexibility at this weight is
quite an accomplishment.
The ELB’s Li-Ion batteries provide the juice you need to get the
job done, with the TSA-friendly model providing 215 full-power
flashes and a full charge in approximately 1.5 hours, while its
non-TSA compliant counterpart delivers up to 400 full-power
flashes and reaches a full charge in approximately 2.5 hours.
Both are very respectable numbers. n
